Whether binary or a spectrum, innate or a construct, or soon to be irrelevant, gender is one of the most divisive questions on the world's lips. Are there more than two genders? What are the sides to the gender debate?

Yes, there are more than two genders

Gender expression is not exclusively male and female. There are many forms that reside on a spectrum. This spectrum offers tremendous freedom to transgender persons as well as to people born intersex.

Gender is a spectrum

Gender is not tied to biological sex, but rather is socially constructed and a form of personal expression.Explore

Intersex individuals need alternatives

Persons born with partial or fully formed genitalia of both sexes fit neither here nor there in the gender binary. New classifications and pronouns will help them thrive.Explore

No, there are only two genders

While it can be socially influenced, gender has been shown to be biologically compelled. Even when raised the opposite sex, an individual will still find the urge to behave in line with their born gender. Transition surgeries and therapies are meant to bridge gender incongruity, but result in higher suicidality.

Trans men are and will always be men

Men remain men, regardless of transition surgeries or treatments of any kind. To give them rights to traditionally women-only spaces endangers biological women and girls.Explore

The social obsession with reassignment is hurting youths

The constant discussion of gender reassignment across society is actively damaging young people.Explore

God's design

The story of the bible explains God's design when mankind was born as there being only man and woman. The stories that follow explain too that those confused about their identity have a challenge to overcome in life, as all do. But it can be overcome.Explore

True reassignment is impossible

Transition surgeries and hormone therapies have not offered relief to most patients. In fact, studies have found that the risk of suicide and suicidal behavior is greatly increased post-surgery. Little is done to assess the efficacy of long-term gender-affirmative counseling.Explore

We should strive for a genderless world

Gender and gender roles in all capacities are a narrow perspective of the human experience that prevents people from reaching their full potential in life.

Postgenderism

Society will ultimately progress to a point where gender is rendered moot and this will come about through the erosion of gender roles.Explore

Gender is not the point

The trans movement is being weaponized by radical activists with a political and social agenda. Gender and identity are secondary to the end goal of coercing conformity and controlling free speech.

Requiring gender pronouns is an affront to free speech

The trans movement is being co-opted by radical activists with a political and social agenda.Explore
